Does cloud truly love tifa

Cloud Strife loves Tifa Lockhart. SE has confirmed that Cloud and Tifa reveal their mutual feelings for each other in the Lifestream sequence(these feelings are obviously romantic if you've watched the scene, because they only things revealed are Cloud's "sealed up secret wishes and tenders feelings" for Tifa, and Tifa's revelation that she has liked Cloud since back in their Nibelheim days, and that after he left the village she thought about him constantly), acted on them in the Highwind scene(the original version was much more in-your-face, but was toned down. Key Word here being "toned down". The intent is still the same, they just approached the subject more subtley), and now live and raise children together. To further cement this idea, SE have bestowed the title of "koibito" to Tifa. This Japanese Word translates literally to "lover". Tifa is Cloud's lover. They are in a permanent relationship of a romantic nature. Game, set, and match.
